Title: Self-venting spout
Inventor: FORBIS CHARLIE L
IPC: B67D7/00
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: A spouted container (10) constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention and configured for storing fluids and transferring the stored fluids to a fluid receiving receptacle such as a lawn mower fluid reservoir (R) is disclosed. The illustrated spouted container (10) broadly includes a storage container (12), a self-venting spout (14) removably coupled to the container (12), a collar (16) for removably coupling the spout (14) to the container (12), and a cap (18) for closing the spout (14) and/or the container (12). The collar (16) cooperates with an inventive sealing disc (32) and a neck (24) to create a gasket-less seal between the spout (14) and the storage container (12) that is adjustable yet prevents undesirable fluid leakage when the spout (14) is in either a pour or a storage position. The spout (14) is a self-venting spout that includes an air-venting passageway (34) formed in part by a flange (60). The inventive flanged configuration of the passageway (34) diverts fluid away from the distal-most end (34a) of the passageway (34) thereby enabling fluid to not only smoothly flow, but also to rapidly flow out of the internal chamber (22) under the influence of gravity when the spout (14) is open in the pour position and the storage container (12) is at least partially inverted.

Patent CA-2465724-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEORGIOU GEORGE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: The present invention provides methods of isolating of leader peptides capab le of directing export of heterologous proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm. T he methods rely on the screening of libraries of putative leader peptides or of leader peptide mutants for sequences that allow rapid export and thus can rescue a short-lived reporter protein from degradation in the cytoplasm. The mutant leader peptides identified herein are shown to confer significantly higher steady state levels of export not only for short-lived reporter prote in but also for other stable, long-lived proteins. These leader peptides can be used to direct or enhance protein secretion. The present invention further discloses methods for the export of cytoplasmically folded protein via the T at pathway. Proteins having disulfide bonds are first folded within the cytopla sm in suitable oxidizing mutant strains. Such cytoplasmically pre-folded protei ns containing disulfide bonds are then exported via the Tat pathway.

Title: Method for producing coated steel sheet
Inventor: FUJITA AKIO
IPC: B05D3/02
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: Object: In a process for manufacturing a coated steel sheet such as a coated electromagnetic steel sheet using a water-based coating liquid containing an organic resin, to perform steps subsequent to an annealing step continuously at high speed without causing appearance defects such as coating unevenness. To provide an electromagnetic steel sheet having an insulating film thereon, in which properties of the film are satisfactory, superior weldability and punchability can be obtained without deteriorating the space factor, and the satisfactory film properties can be maintained even if the electromagnetic steel sheet having the insulating film thereon is temper-rolled.     Solving Means: A coating liquid is applied onto an untreated steel sheet. The applied liquid is heated on the side close to the steel sheet in such a manner that the time elapsed until the steel sheet temperature is increased to 100°C after the application is completed is seconds or less, thereby drying the coating liquid.  The steel sheet temperature is further increased to a predetermined temperature, thereby forming a coating film.     When insulating films for electromagnetic steel sheets are formed, the coating liquid preferably further contains a water based inorganic component.

Abstract: A pump that, in one application, may use differential pressure in the pipelines to create force to pump the glycol. The pump uses an electronic timer to trigger a stroke cycle.  The stroke cycle determines the volume of glycol to be pumped. By using a timer and a predetermined volume of fluid in the pump cylinder, the pump rate can be accurately determined. One embodiment of the pump uses dual pumping cylinders. One dual acting drive cylinder uses gas pressure of differential pressure to drive the slave cylinder that pumps the glycol through the system. Two directional control motor valves direct and redirect gas pressure to create force on the glycol pumping cylinders. The electronic timer operates these motor valves over pneumatic control valves to apply and relieve pressure on the motor valves that redirect gas flows to create a pumping action.
